authentic montessori secondary: a unique and life-changing experience

An environment prepared to serve the needs of young adolescents

We are honored to encourage our students to take their first steps into young adulthood by participating in the authentic Montessori adolescent community at Camino de Paz School and Farm. Just a short drive from the city, Camino de Paz creates a world where the turbulent transition to adulthood is smoothed by genuine experience in meeting the most basic human needs. Students work to care for the land, the animals, the crops, and the community at large, and engage in authentic production and exchange that paves the way for civic understanding and economic independence.

During the years when students are most likely to be groaning "When am I ever going to need this?" the farm is a wellspring for integrated academic studies that gain relevance for young people by virtue of their roots in real life and real work.
